Horrified of getting the wrong shoe size for your kid? Getting the wrong shoe size or the shoe style for your child can have a negative impact on his feet and legs. There are a variety of kids shoe size measurement devices that come in different shapes and sizes. However, I always recommend taking your kids to your local shoe store to have their feet properly measured!

Tired of doing the guesswork while ordering your kids’shoes online? Hunting for an easy way to find out the correct shoe size for your kid’s feet? If you are not 100% sure of the shoe size that your child needs while ordering your kids’ shoes online, you will probably end up getting the wrong shoe size! You don’t have to worry anymore! I will present you with a variety of kids shoe measure devices that will save you time and money!

Nobody likes to purchase their kids’ sneakers online or at the shoe store and get the wrong shoe size, that only means wasting time by having to drive back to the shoe store or having to ship the shoes back to the online retailer. Some parents keep these shoe measure devices at home to avoid going to the shoe store and ordering the shoes online. However, I only recommend doing this if you don’t have a children’s shoe store nearby that you trust.

A lot of parents have contacted me concerned about not having a local kids’ shoe store to take their kids to be properly fitted for shoes. Who likes the confusion and hassle while getting the right shoes for their kids? Local shoe stores hire seasoned professionals who are trained and experienced and know how to use the Brannock Device properly (standard foot measuring tool). Please REMEMBER, what your child actually measures is only the starting point in finding the correct pair of shoes, since every shoe fits differently!

Thank you. My goal is to inform parents about the importance of well fitted shoes so they can make the most informative decision when buying shoes for their children. Taking care of our kids’ feet at an early age will prevent several foot, leg, and back problems in the future!

Interesting article. I can see the value of each of these measuring tools.

But one of the things you mentioned at the beginning was that parents have a horror of ordering the wrong size shoe for their children. Why is that? What are some of the problems with buying shoes that are just a touch too big or too small?

Shoes that are too small can create all sort of of problems to your kids feet such as bunions, blisters, corns, ingrown toenails,etc. A shoe that is too small can also compromise your child’s stability and make him/her fall more often.

A shoe that is too long can have the same impact of a shoe being too small. If there is too much space in the shoe your kids’ foot will move too much inside it, and it will create friction between your kids’ toes and the shoe. This will also lead to some of the issues mentioned above.

In order to keep our kids’ feet and legs healthy, we must provide them with the right shoe size.

Thanks for the great article, I must say I really like the look of the Brannock Combo just for the convenience that it will work for everyone in my family. My only question is there are several different standards out there for shoe sizing, like US, UK and EUR. Does the Brannock give you a size for each standard?

Wow, one of the best and most informative websites I have seen so far.
So much information about shoes, I never knew you could learn so much about shoes from toddlers to adults. I wear high heels a lot and I know that even though we love them heels, if we do not wear them the right way we kill our feet and backs alike. Do you perhaps have any details on ladies heels helpful information like the rest you did?

I specialize in children shoes. I worked for an adult shoe store but not too long to feel comfortable writing about adult shoes. Start by getting the right shoe size, if the heels still feel uncomfortable, there is always extra padding you can put to reduce the friction in the area of the foot that is suffering more.

Great post, thanks for bringing to my attention that these are available for mums and dads.I haven’t seen shoe sizers for many years, they were always used on us as kids (that’s a long time ago lol), and I often wondered when my children were growing up why they weren’t used anymore. It’s a pity more shoe shops don’t still use them as I remember our shoes were always comfortable and this would have been due to having our feet measured correctly. I believe these would be a great thing for mums to have on hand.

You make a very valid point. Before, most parents took their children to get their feet measured at their local shoe store, as online shopping was not as popular, at least when it came to shoes. Having your kids feet properly measured is imperative to keep his or her feet, legs, and back healthy. I think every household needs a shoe size measuring device, specially if you don’t have a local shoe store in your area.

About me

I have been fitting children’s shoes and orthotics for ten years at a premier children’s shoe store specializing in proper fit for over forty years. Every week I help hundreds of children find the best shoes to fit their particular feet. Bones in children are not entirely developed and if a shoe is not properly fitted, then the child’s body’s biomechanics can be altered. It doesn't matter what type of feet your kids have (narrow, medium, wide, or extra wide), there is a style of shoe that will work best for their feet, and you WILL find it here!
